Should be about as successful as his radio show.

[Destro]

. . . . Al Franken says finances are so bad at the Air America liberal talk radio network that he's working for free. Air America's only good news of late has been very early Arbitron numbers showing Franken's midday show doing slightly better than Rush Limbaugh's in New York City among listeners 25-54, a main target of radio advertisers. . . .

[Spok]

If he's really considering a senate run, it IS a joke.

[Numbers Guy]

His radio show, meanwhile, is giving him an opportunity to further excoriate Bush.

His rants probably would be more effective if he had more than 50 listeners.

[TexKat]

No Joke

It's got to be, otherwise I am ROFL for nada.

[SF Republican]

see Al, hear Al speak, see Al fail; run Al run

[MplsSteve]

As a Minnesotan, the idea of Al Franken running for the Senate sounds about as appealing as how most Ohioans feel when asked about a Jerry Springer candidacy.

Franken is a self-absorbed, bloviating major-league Clymer.

[clintonh8r]

Franken's a comedian?

[dead]

He will not run in a million years.

He appeals only to the rabid hate-filled loonies of the far far left.

Eighty-eight percent of people who have ever heard his name find him to be a repulsive fat troll who was last entertaining sometime around 1978.

(Wellstoneapalooza had far more belly laughs than his failed network sitcom.)

[Spok]

"there's little doubt Franken is hot in Washington's Democratic circles."

If true, this is really sad.

[GSWarrior]

Well, he should run. Put his money where his mouth is.

[headsonpikes]

How can you say 'No joke'?!?

Franken in Congress would be a freakin' joke!

[South40]

Stuart Smalley For Senate!

[hosepipe]

Light travels faster than sound. This is why Al Franken appears merely ugly until you hear him speak. Hes also stoopid..

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Stuart Smalley:

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and-

Van/River Guy:

Shut up you liberal tool!

Smalley:

Now, I don't think that name-

Farley character:

I said: "Cram it up your pie-hole pinko!" You're gonna' be smart enough...TO LIVE IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER, once that crap-fest you call a talk radio show runs out!

Smalley:

Please, I don't think your negativity-

Van Dude:

I got some negativity for you.

How would like to be thrice-divorced, alimony payments to your disabled whore of a wife, bills up the wazoo and LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER?

[beelzepug]

Maybe he could move to Massachusetts. Then they could have the Frank 'n Franken Show.

[xJones]

No joke: Al Franken considering a Senate run

At long last, he could actually make a funny joke.

[zbigreddogz]

Nice to know Coleman won't have to worry much about getting his second term.

[Slings and Arrows]

On the behalf of the Brotherhood of Satirists, Photoshop Artists, and General Wisearses, I just want say...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Franken said his wife is ready to move. His daughter is also supporting the move, but Franken said, "My son, right now, is the holdout."

I could understand his wife want to move, out.

But, OMG!, he has kids? Sounds like the son might take after Mom.
